A number is multiplied by 7, and then the product is added to 13. The result is 55. What is the number?

You know that your final total is 55, so you’re going to subtract the added 13
(55-13)=42
Since you multiplied 42 by 7 to reverse the effect you will need to divide by 7 now
42/7=6

Answer is 6 (if the product is the answer of the original number being multiplied by Seven then added to thirteen)
